all I remember is something about a dog.
Harumph. But really, that's why I think students might get more out of it if it was taught differently.
"Hated by his kind and by mankind, indomitable, perpetually warred upon and himself waging perpetual war, his development was rapid and one-sided. This was no soil for kindliness and affection to blossom in. Of such things he had not the faintest glimmering. The code he learned was to obey the strong and to oppress the weak."
London wasn't a particularly happy fella.

Though isn't part of it not being old and/or mature enough to really get it?
Great Expectations
freshman year of college was a different read from
Great Expectations
in ninth grade. I also don't remember a terrible amount, period, from that long ago. I've been in school a long time. Like I remember what
The Wolves of Willoughby Chase
was even about.

I loved that book! (And I remember what it was about, as well as a few random scenes.)
Would it be the same as Atlantic Canada?
I think that's the idea. And, I guess it would get rid of Daylight Savings Time. Which means that the clock in my car would be right ALL YEAR ROUND!
It could make tv tricky, though.
ION, I think that the couple on TLC's Clean Sweep today was on A Baby Story yesterday. TLC whores.
(And I remember what it was about, as well as a few random scenes.)
What was it about? All I remember is that it was by Joan Aiken, and there were kids, and there were wolves on the cover. They were probably in a boarding school or with their grandmother or some shit like that. This must have been, say, sixth grade. Oh! That was when we read
Escape from Warsaw.
I think I liked that one.
What was it about?
A mix of
Lemony Snicket
and
Oliver Twist,
with a dash of
Anne of Green Gables.
Polter, have you done all your schooling in the States?
Yes. I was born here. Lived here all my life. Went to three different elementary schools, but by the end stayed on the same track to junior high and high school.
It could make tv tricky, though.
It would, particularly for the Southern Mainers like you, who get a lot of Boston channels. It would make interstate commerce more difficult too, if (at least) half of the year, you were on a different time from New England and New York.
Oh, so you're a citizen. Cool.
